Tudo sobre VCT Tax Relief Calculator
📋Apresentação+
Computes VCT reliefs (2025/26): 30% income tax relief on new ordinary shares up to £200,000 per tax year (capped at your tax liability, clawed back if sold within 5 years), plus tax-free dividends on the qualifying holding and CGT-exempt growth — with the dividend advantage projected over 10 years.
💡 Boas práticas
- Only newly issued shares qualify for the 30% relief — second-hand VCT shares still get tax-free dividends and CGT exemption.
- Unlike EIS, VCT losses do not qualify for share loss relief — the 30% relief and dividend exemption are the compensation.
- Gains on VCT shares are CGT-exempt with no minimum holding period.
🔢 Exemplo concreto
£10,000 into a new VCT issue: £3,000 income tax relief (net cost £7,000), plus £500/year of tax-free dividends at a 5% yield — saving £168.75/year for a 33.75% dividend taxpayer, about £1,688 over 10 years.

- A tax reducer worth 30% of the amount invested in NEW VCT shares (max £60,000 on the £200,000 annual limit) — withdrawn if you sell within 5 years.
- Tax-free dividends
- Dividends on VCT shares (up to £200,000 acquired per year) are exempt from income tax — often the main long-term attraction.
